That's a good system. I considered something similar myself at first,
I.e. writing some sort of count to a file at every restart and
periodically checking/clearing it. However it's obviously much better to
have this functionality built-in to monit. Is there any way we can put
this patch up for argument on the developer's list? I'd definitely like
to see something similar in the CVS.
Perhaps I should make a diff against the development version (rather
than stable.) It would also be good to get some people testing this to
make sure it works properly.

Basically whenever I start apache using the apachectl script I also
add a byte to a temp file (echo >> /tmp/apache_restart), then I use
another test in monit to check this temp file and exec "reboot" when
it reach a given size (10 bytes would mean 10 restart). However I've
also got another check that deletes the file is the timestamp if over
a given period.
